This is all so interesting to me.

Why are some people so desperate to own poorly-designed, poorly-made and mass-produced "designer" collaborations with a discount-department store for 100-percent markup???

I understand Target is US-only, but people from Asia and Europe do realize that Target is a chain discount-department store, don't they? I am baffled at the demand for these "collections"-- especially at the such markups. Wouldn't it be more attractive to hunt down, bid on vintage, or secondhand Missoni rather than pay these markups? The only conclusion I can come to is some get caught up in all the hype.
